There are no easy matches in the world cup..

Well well well.....The world cup began with a goal feast from germany and costa rica and then an upset by least fancied ecuador ...They rolled over favourites poland by 2 goals to none...and then that set the stage for another debutant team t&t against another strong team sweden. The soca warriors put in a lion hearted performance with ten men to fight off attack after attack from the swedes. All credit to keeper shaka hislop for fending off some brilliant moves from the swedish lineup.. In the end the soca warriors came away witha totally unexpected point...and there was heartbreak for the swedes. And then it was time for argentina to battle it out against the lions from africa..ivory coast.. It was'nt a pretty first half for the ivory coast as argentina thumped in two goals from each of their strikers, crespo and saviola..the second goal as a result of some brilliant build up play from the argentinian midfield.The second half proved to be a bit of a turnaround as the ivory coast came out bursting on all cylnders to get something out of th match. they finally got their reward as chelsea striker drogba pulled one back after an instnctive finish. But argentina held on and got an important three points in the proverbial group of death. Ivory coast showed that they are no pushovers too. Watch out for them!
